On this svelte-yet-festive episode, hosts Ashleigh and Flint give some details about some surprisingly positive news stories, some that you may have missed and some that you absolutely definitely have heard about, including:

• An update on the NDAA bill in the USA.
• New protections for intersex people in Victoria, Australia.
• The Girlguides and the Women's Institute both saying they'd bar trans women, only for a lot of their members to rebel against it.
• A quick update from the EHRC now that Falkner has finally, finally left.
• A triple-threat Loser's Corner, including a particular Scottish nurse...
• And a visit from Father Transmasc, for a decidedly festive section about the nice list, and the naughty list!

On this episode, Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx explore the finer details of:

• Details allegedly 'leaked' from the Civil Service to the Times about the upcoming guidance from the EHRC. It's safe to say that we have one or two concerns about it.
• The PATHWAYS trial, what it is, what it'll involve and what that stupid backronym* is supposed to mean.
• The Levy review, the much-delayed review into adult trans healthcare, featuring details of an FOI we sent and an interview with Chay from TransActual.
• Plus our regular segments of Pond Hoppin', Loser's Corner and Trans Joy!

*a real term, I promise I didn't make that up.

On this episode, Alyx, Flint & Ashleigh go over:

• The EHRC wanting to get out in front of any statements made by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) with mixed success.
• Some social science, of the LGB Alliance.
• An NHS ICB threatening to close a group of GP's surgeries for continuing to support trans young people, in line with existing legislation.
• Lib Dem returning officers don't get off lightly after an encounter with the FAP committee. Stop sniggering! Yes you read that correctly!
• And for our meat, we find out what Your Party's Trans Liberation Group had to say about Alyx's recent article calling Your Party a waste of time...
